This is nothing but JUTA MERE GORU DAAN,after killing countless innocent village ppl,and some smuglars ,Note - not Indian smuglars.Now they are introducing non lethal weapons. Why not finish construction of the fence properly? Why leave places open in some part where smuggling is rampant?
cause BD has problem with fence,at least for some parts..they raised objection as BD govt is so naive that they can't understand the term "Permanent Structure" and thought fence is applied in this section(permanent structure generally means watchtower,bunker etc,not a fence)..
plus smugglers are far more clever than you and me..they even smuggle a cow without crossing the border..thats called "Jhula"(sort of bamboo crane or cow throwing catapult),if i'm not wrong..they throw a cow from one side of the border to the other side using this Jhula,over the fence..there is a video of it in youtube..i'll post it if i can find it..
read this report..
Well past midnight, the handheld thermal image (HHTI) camera fitted in a BSF watchtower records a sudden movement across the barbed-wire fence on the Bangladesh border some 50 metres away. A group of people from the Bangladesh side, the recording shows, first sends out a boy close to the border to find out whether the BSF on the Indian side is alert. The BSF jawans lie still.
The boy waves his hand, and a group of about 10 rushes towards the fence. Within seconds, they set up an improvised bamboo crane on their side and lower the other end across the fence into India. The camera pans right. Another group rushes towards the fence from the Indian side with about a dozen heads of cattle, tied with ropes. One by one, the animals are hung to the improvised bamboo crane and sent across to the Bangladesh side; ferrying each one takes only six or seven seconds.
"Cattle smuggling is one crime difficult to contain even after erecting a barbed-wire fence along the boundary," said D S Sandha, DIG of the BSF's Cooch Beehar sector. "Our men in the Cooch Behar and Falakata sectors have together seized as many as 11,840 cattle-heads till October 2011 when the two sectors were bifurcated. Between October 2011 and September 2012, we have seized 6,562 cattle in the Cooch Behar sector alone."
Going by the manner criminals on both sides have been innovating, these figures could be just a small fraction of the total number of cattle smuggled out to Bangladesh, says Sandha. The reason is that of the 361.75-km international border that the BSF's Cooch Behar and Falakata sectors together handle, only 197 km is fenced, including the portion in the clipping shown by DIG Saldhana.
There are several reasons for nearly 165 km remaining unfenced: a river border, objections by Bangladesh on some stretches, the presence of Indian villages right on the zero line, enclaves with narrow strips (chicken necks) linking them to their respective countries, and Bangladeshi enclaves within Indian territory with no link to that country.
Cattle go easily across the border fence, easier for smugglers where theres none - Indian Express
